Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Columbia County has expanded compared with last year, with active listings up nearly 10 percent to 315. Months of supply has climbed to 5.2, a sharp year-over-year jump from much tighter levels, signaling buyers have more options to consider. At the same time, contract activity is mixed, as pending sales are slightly lower than a year ago and closed sales are down more notably.
Prices are adjusting to these shifting conditions. The typical home value is up about 7 percent from a year ago, yet the median list price has risen even faster, increasing more than 13 percent year over year. Despite this upward pressure on asking prices, the average sale-to-list ratio has edged just under 99 percent and roughly a third of homes still sell above list, showing sellers can achieve strong results when homes are priced and presented well.
Momentum over the past few months shows a cooler pace, with homes sold falling sharply from August and days on market holding around the low 50s. New listings have pulled back month over month, but remain higher than a year ago, adding to choices even as sales soften. Compared with Wisconsin overall, Columbia County has more months of supply and slightly lower prices, offering relatively more breathing room for buyers. In these nuanced conditions, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in connecting with a local agent who understands the latest trends.
Learn more about what Columbia County has to offer.
Columbia County offers residents a balanced mix of outdoor recreation, strong local services, and a welcoming, close-knit community.
Columbia County stands apart from nearby Dane and Sauk counties with its quieter pace, expansive river views, and strong sense of small-town connection that still keeps you within easy reach of Madison. Communities like Portage, Columbus, Lodi, and Poynette offer distinct identities, whether you are drawn to historic downtowns or lakeside living near Lake Wisconsin.
Outdoor life is central here. Residents enjoy the Wisconsin River, the Columbia County Parks system and family time at Devil’s Lake State Park just across the county line. The MacKenzie Center provides trails and wildlife exhibits, while Lodi Women’s Library Club Public Library and Portage Public Library anchor community events and lifelong learning.
Local schools, including the Portage Community School District and Columbus School District, attract families who value smaller class sizes and active local involvement. Commuters appreciate access to Amtrak’s Columbus Station and regional highways, which open job and cultural opportunities in larger cities while allowing you to return to quieter neighborhoods at the end of the day.
With demand steady for waterfront properties, rural acreage, and in-town homes, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are planning to buy your first home in Columbia County or preparing to sell and move on, Agent Pronto connects you with a local real estate professional who can help you make smart, well-timed decisions.

“We were looking to move, and had a referral for Krag. We couldn't be more pleased. Krag made the entire process of buying and selling our homes stress free. He is very personable, quick to respond, and answered any and all questions/concerns we had. It was an excellent experience. We definitely recommend Krag, and wouldn't hesitate to have him as our agent again.”
